Let it go...

"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2Corinthians 12:9-10


My dear, dear husband has just retreated to the shower, and I so needed for him to do that. I was going to snap at him, and it's not his fault. I think this is the first time in a long time that I have been able to hold my tongue, and wait for the moment when little miss is occupied happily with play-doh, and hubby is busy getting clean so that I can pick up my Bible, open it, and let God give me the verse I need to get through the next 5 minutes. Today, this is the one. It couldn't be more perfect.
I can't wait to meet this new and precious gift that God is allowing to grow inside of me, but let me tell you, I can't wait to NOT be pregnant!!! I have the most horrid mood swings, and I am not usually aware enough to hold my tongue before thinking about what I need to say. It's something I have been in serious prayer about, and I think I finally get it.

"When I am weak, then I am strong"

Lightbulb!!!! When you are about to break, take a time out and go have a chat with God about it! Hey, you know what, it really works!!! Go figure, God really knows what he's talking about!

"Come unto me, all who are weak, weary and heavy laden" Matthew 11:28

Amazing, how I fight it so hard, when as soon as I let go, God takes over, and the peace I feel is like nothing else. Now, to be able to work this in to every aspect of my life - imagine how laid back I will be?

Thank you God, for your patience and for opening my eyes, and even smacking the back of my head when necessary!!!
